Oracle cloud must be absolute garbage given how hard its being marketed. Didn't part of the US deal with Tiktok _force_ the application into using Oracle cloud as part of the deal? I have a lot of sympathies for the TikTok devs if its not very good as its now mandatory.

Its like instead of building something good or getting techie buy in they've instead tried to lobby governments to make it mandatory for some enslaved customers.

Haha, yes, you are literally describing the business model of SAP, Oracle, IBM, and most sales-led enterprise software or services companies. You can replace "lobby governments" with "lobby c-level of large corporations" as well


I do recall Microsoft using a similar tactic to try to get Windows Mobile more widely used.
